Abstract The golden twin-spot moth or tomato looper, Chrysodeixis chalcites (Esper), is a polyphagous and worldwide pest that causes important aesthetic damages to banana fruits in the Canary Islands. The life history parameters of C. chalcites were determined under laboratory conditions in base on the age-stage, two-sex life table at 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35°C, 65% relative humidity (RH), and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) h, when it was reared on a semi-synthetic diet. The results show that C. chalcites was able to develop and survive from 15 to 30°C, but no development occurred at 35°C. Developmental threshold temperatures of the egg, larval, pupal, and total preoviposition stages were 10.42, 11.73, 11.22, and 9.42°C, respectively, and their effective accumulated temperatures were 58.31, 265.96, 118.57, and 562.39 degree-days, respectively. The adult longevity was reduced with increasing temperature, which ranged between 16.27 and 34.85 d for females and between 14.27 and 35.21 d for males. The highest values of net reproductive rate (R0) and fecundity were observed at 25°C, with 232.70 offspring and 1,224.74 eggs, respectively. Both the intrinsic rate of increase (r) and finite rate of increase (λ) increased significantly and mean generation time (T) decreased significantly with increasing temperature. These results provide useful information that will allow predicting the impact of climate change on the distribution and population dynamics of C. chalcites and developing successful integrated management programs.

Chrysodeixis 方解石（鳞翅目：夜蛾科）在恒温下半合成饮食的年龄阶段、两性寿命表

摘要 金双斑蛾（Chrysodeixis chalcites (Esper)）是一种多食性的世界性害虫，对加那利群岛的香蕉果实造成严重的美学损害。C. 方解石的生活史参数是在实验室条件下根据年龄阶段、两性寿命表在 15、20、25、30 和 35°C、65% 相对湿度 (RH) 和当它以半合成饲料饲养时，光周期为 16:8 (L:D) h。结果表明，C. chalcites 能够在 15 到 30°C 下发育和存活，但在 35°C 下不发生发育。卵、幼虫、蛹和总产卵前阶段的发育阈温度分别为10.42、11.73、11.22和9.42℃，有效积温分别为58.31、265.96、118.57和562.39度-日。成虫寿命随温度升高而缩短，雌性为 16.27 至 34.85 天，雄性为 14.27 至 35.21 天。净繁殖率 (R0) 和繁殖力的最高值出现在 25°C 时，分别有 232.70 个后代和 1,224.74 个卵。随着温度的升高，固有增长率 (r) 和有限增长率 (λ) 均显着增加，平均世代时间 (T) 显着降低。这些结果提供了有用的信息，可以预测气候变化对方解石分布和种群动态的影响，并制定成功的综合管理计划。净繁殖率 (R0) 和繁殖力的最高值出现在 25°C 时，分别有 232.70 个后代和 1,224.74 个卵。随着温度的升高，固有增长率 (r) 和有限增长率 (λ) 均显着增加，平均世代时间 (T) 显着降低。这些结果提供了有用的信息，可以预测气候变化对方解石分布和种群动态的影响，并制定成功的综合管理计划。净繁殖率 (R0) 和繁殖力的最高值出现在 25°C 时，分别有 232.70 个后代和 1,224.74 个卵。随着温度的升高，固有增长率 (r) 和有限增长率 (λ) 均显着增加，平均世代时间 (T) 显着降低。这些结果提供了有用的信息，可以预测气候变化对方解石分布和种群动态的影响，并制定成功的综合管理计划。
